# producer.fm

> Independent directory of music production tools: audio plugins, DAWs, music software, studio hardware, studio furniture and sample providers. Each tool page lists vendor, formats, systems, price with the date we checked it, and our own short summary, with a visible "last verified" date. Some store links are affiliate links: we may earn a commission, and it does not change which tools we list or their order. Sponsored slots are labelled "Sponsored".

The catalog is also available as a read-only JSON API and an MCP endpoint, with no sign-in. Both return the same facts as the pages, at most 20 items per answer, with no buy links. Please credit producer.fm with a link when you use these facts.
